As someone who uses Linux and just can't get Affinity and PS CS6 to work over wine... Just couldn't get into GIMP
I've been using Photopea for image editing, Krita is ASS at text. And I haven't found a good alternative to AI yet, I used to use CorelDRAW on some places I've worked at but it doesn't work on Linux either. Been sticking to Inkscape but it isn't really as powerful as AI or even Corel

it does kinda depend, a lot of people’s workflow from logo design is sketching freehand on paper and inking vector in Illustrator so it’s scalable if you’re talking about drawing in the sense of wordmarks and t shirts and stuff

Learn adobe illustrator.
Esp rotate, transform, pathfinder (lesrn what every button here does)
Learn some math especially basic geometry, ratios.

Replicate the five youve posted here. Dont do them free hand, do them pixel perfect.

Row 2, column 1 will be easiest to start with.

Create circle
Duplicate it, put second circle straight under
Select both of them
Rotate 60 degrees and make a copy

illustrator is really a shit program for anything that approaches actual 'drafting' which is the level youre aiming for to really get geometry.
honestly, may as well go get a compass and a straight edge

True, only upside of Affinity is that you get 3in1 for free. Photoshop is still better than Affinity Photo.
>>
>>462754
who is 'they' in this scenario?
>>
The only catch with Affinity (as of current v3 release under Canva) is that it require a Canva account as formality when you first install it, it won't ask login again. If you're paranoid enough with muh data, you can opt out on setting, or even firewall block Affinity installation folder.

Feature wise, Affinity can totally replace Ps, Ai, and Id workflow; except Ps animation and some specific non-destructive editing. It's funny that companies willingly getting squeezed by Adobe subscription knowing that Affinity could handle the project for free now, with less performance bloat.

t. user since v1, and finally accepted that Canva's v3 actually an improvement over Serif's v2

Why is gimp so terrible and no good a alternative has popped up that is free open source and works on Linux? You’d think with something like blender there would be something as good but for graphic design.
Does Krita count?

Is gimp controlled opposition to be a bad software so people give up and go for the paid for ones or at least go for affinity now?

How well does the affinity suite run on winboat?
>>
>>463630
have you tried krita? not the same as pohotoshop and originally intended as drawing software, but it does many things better than gimp does.

might be enough for your needs. you should give it a try.

Best FICTIONAL sports team logos?

Have you seen The Last Boy Scout? The logo helmet for fictional NFL team the Stallions opens the movie and perfectly foreshadows a black all-star receiver opening gunfire against white defensive chads in a hyperbolic floodlight downpour lensed by Tony Scott, and then the receiver suicides after muttering "Ain't life a bitch?" In the original screenplay, he suicides by saying "I'm going to Disneyland" but imho that line would be fantasy overkill compiled with the Stallions high test minimalist animal logo.

Aesthetic is why Last Boy Scout btfo Any Given Sunday's similar fictional pro leagues setting and attitude

plz

I feel like I’ve wasted 15 years of my life, and my career has led me nowhere. At 35, I should be at my peak in terms of earnings and health, yet I’m a nobody. I keep ending up in shitty companies where I’m expected to do everything while getting paid less than gate keeper. For the past 10 years, I’ve designed websites, logos, mobile apps, print materials, books, t-shirt prints, labels, packaging, product photography, social media content, 3D designs, modeling, animation, and simulations. If I had focused on one thing from the start, I’d be an expert in a specific field by now and making decent money. Unfortunately, the harsh truth is this: if you are able to do anything that means you are good at nothing. When there are job listings for simple graphic work, they don’t want someone with 5+ years of experience. If they do want someone with 5 years of experience, they expect an expert in one particular niche. Today, no one even wants to spit in my direction. No one is looking for a 35-year-old guy who has done everything (but nothing specific) because they have 100 young, dynamic grads fresh out of college to choose from. The competition in the big city is just too strong. For the past 5 years, I’ve been working from home part-time, and somehow manage to pay the rent. The MS diagnosis broke me. Depression, no friends, far from family, always making excuses. If it weren’t for my wife earning well and help from my in-laws, I’d have nothing. It feels like everyone around me is doing fine, earning well, and building great careers - except me. I’m feeling down, I’m sick of this fucking city and its weather. I just needed to get this off my chest.

OP update: I was looking for a job over 4 months. Found something kind of related to my skills. Office looks like shit, medium money, flexible hours, boss with ADHD, doing social media, product photography and bunch of shit not related to my experience but at least I am able to pay the bills. Not good not bad.

*botanically* there is no such thing as a vegetable and tomatos are fruit.
>doesn't mean you shouldn't ever call a tomato a vegetable in *culinary* settings...
even though the outer covering of a tree is called "bark", it can also refer to the noise a dog makes. words are (ambiguous) pointers through context, not the phenomena they refer to.

*physically* white is not a color because every color can be created by using a single (pure) frequency of light; color is a measure for *absence of some of the usual "white" (sun light) frequencies*.
>doesn't mean you shouldn't ever call your titanium white oil paint a color in *artistic* settings...

people who cannot accept the functional everyday categorization of a *tomato as a vegetable* are obviously equally retarded as those who cannot accept the functional categorization of *white as a color*.
in both cases they are posturing by blindly repeating words of an "authority".
>how could I touch your dog when *physically* atoms are 99,99% empty space and there was no matter in contact reeeeeeeeeeeeee

this whole debate is fucking retarded. fighting against an arbitraty categorization by insisting on another is stupid. but please also accept that your ignorance of how physics works still doesn't make white a color either -.-

There's an entire sub- genre of art based on the concept of Warner Sallman's iconic "Christ Our Pilot" painting showing Jesus guiding a young helmsman through a storm at sea...the idea being to illustrate that He is always with us, and it's a comforting one indeed. That spawned similar art depicting people engaged in other dangerous/ difficult work with Jesus watching over them.

It has however been taken to some pretty questionable extremes in an attempt to expand niche merchandising opportunities like picrel.

There was also someone pre-internet who did a series of high quality pen and ink drawings protesting that "Jesus is everywhere involved in everything" art trend, where the "workers" being watched over were cracking safes and setting arson fires and weighing out street drugs and whatnot, that were pretty hilarious...
